Hello! little cutie

I am Black Rainbow (Comic black rainbow)

Is painting scenes one of your passions?

most painters

My favorite subjects to draw are people or animals.

If you just draw some simple works, of course there is no problem

but we all know

Only limited to painting figures and animals

Must not be able to satisfy our desire to create

At this time, we will want to draw some complete works

For example like works with background

But for people who usually draw characters and animals

The difficulty of drawing the background lies in:

1. Backgrounds often need a basis for perspective

2. The background is full of complex objects

3. I am not used to drawing the background because I seldom draw the background

 

In fact, painting the background is also a professional field of painting

For different stories, situations and creative needs

The required background is also different

This is why there are scene painters in the game industry

Hayao Miyazaki's animation will also have animators who specialize in drawing scenes

Because the details of drawing the background are actually very complicated and need to do homework and research beforehand

 

But even so, there are still traces to follow in the presentation of various scenes

And today I want just one scene

Share with you the simple skills of drawing

That is the scene that many people often draw in the creative process - the forest!

 

And today I will use Clip studio paint as a demonstration

Because there are many painting aids using Clip studio paint

can help us when drawing forest scenes

It is simple, convenient, easy and fast to draw all kinds of forest scenes we want to present!

 

Three basic elements for drawing forest scenes

First of all, when we first draw the forest, if we don’t consider too many details, such as differences in geography, seasons, countries, climates, etc., we must first understand the forest in terms of our understanding of the forest. The three most basic elements in the scene: trees, bushes, and grass.

In fact, most forest scenes can be drawn with only these three elements! But at this time you may ask, how to draw trees, bushes, and grass? It is of course impossible if you draw one blade at a time, so let's take a look at how to draw these three elements easily! And combine them into various forest scenes at the end!

But before we look at how to paint these three elements, because Clip studio assets are really rich in materials about forests, trees, leaves, etc., so this may also cause you to not know where to start, but don't worry ! Among the many scattered materials, I found a painter to share a set of brush materials that can draw trunks, branches, leaves, and grass at the same time. This is the most complete set of tree and grass brush materials I have seen so far. up! So I highly recommend that you use this set of materials to start your forest scene painting journey!

How to draw trees?

First of all, let's start with the largest tree. In fact, the tree is mainly a combination of trunk, branches and leaves. The trunk and branches are easy to draw, but the complexity of the leaves is of course impossible for us to draw one by one. At this time we You will definitely use the part of the leaf brush, so you can use the set of brushes I recommended you to use above to play around!

Generally speaking, when our eyes see the leaves of trees, there will be a difference between the front and back positions, so usually when we draw trees, we will lay a darker background color, sometimes dark green, and sometimes we can also add A little bit of blue is used to show the leaves behind which are covered by shadows, and the leaves closer to us are gradually showing a clearer green or a warmer green, so usually the leaves or grass will be painted layer by layer

After drawing the overall appearance, I will use some leaf brushes to draw some leaves with a clearer appearance. At this time, I usually absorb the color of my coloring as the color of the leaves, and then properly paint in the dark Make some embellishments with the bright part, so that the tree we draw will look more layered

Finally, after we add simple tree trunks, basically, our easy-to-draw trees are complete

If you want to make the leaves look more colorful, you can also use brighter yellow leaves as the final embellishment!

How to draw grass?

The painting method of the grass is the same as that of the trees, except that the trunk is missing, and the leaves will be more detailed.

At the beginning, we also spread the base color on a large area of the canvas. Here I used darker blue, green, and slightly brighter green, and used a rubbing method to roughly capture the shape of the grass.

 

Then, I did the same way as I painted the trees. I used the color I applied as the color of the leaves, and dotted them around moderately. Generally speaking, I don’t paint the leaves on the entire background color, which would make it look too messy. , so I always add leaves in part and not draw leaves in part, so that the grass looks more comfortable. The leaves on the last painting are usually the brightest color, here I used a brighter turquoise.

Finally, because there are two kinds of leaf brushes in this brush, I used another kind of larger and divergent leaves as decoration. After I painted a lot of leaves here, I felt that the whole picture was too messy, so I painted After I finished, I still wiped off a lot of leaves to make the whole grass look more comfortable without being too messy

How to draw grass?

Finally, the grass part is the same, I use dark blue and green as the background color, and draw the land area where I want to draw the grass

Then add a brighter green color on top of the background color. The painting method here is the same as that of the leaves, which are drawn layer by layer. The difference is that the brush used is the brush used to draw grass.

After the overall background color of the grass is almost painted, I use a clearer grass brush and start to paint small rubs of grass on the local area. It is also based on the color I laid as the color of the grass. For embellishment on the grass, but here, in order to increase the richness of the color of the grass, I add a little brighter yellow for embellishment

Of course, when I first started painting, I would draw a lot. When it seemed particularly messy, I would start to adjust the position of these relatively clear grasses, or erase some grasses that felt too much, so that the overall grass would not look so messy. It's almost enough to organize it to a state that makes you feel comfortable!

Composition Tips for Forest Scenes

After understanding how to draw the basic elements of a forest scene - trees, bushes, and grass, now we are going to start thinking about the forest scene! Generally, experienced painters may quickly conceive the composition of their works in their minds, but for beginners and intermediate painters who want to draw forest scenes, composition may be a difficult step, so here I I want to share the composition secret of a forest scene, which is to distinguish the front, middle and background!

First, let's look at these three pictures

Looking at these three pictures alone, it seems to be nothing, but if we arrange these three pictures in a simple front, middle and back, you will find that the pictures have changed a lot!

Do you feel that the picture has become rich, interesting and orderly? This is why there is a distinction between front, middle and background! Because this will make the picture rich and not too monotonous, and using various picture elements to distinguish the front, middle and background will also make the picture look orderly and not too messy! So if you want to draw a forest scene, but don't know how to compose it, you can start with this simple concept of front, middle and background to arrange the composition to make your picture rich and beautiful!

Draw forest scenes using the skills of drawing trees, bushes and grass

I believe that after drawing trees, bushes, and grass by yourself, and understanding the composition skills, you will definitely have a basic impression and concept of drawing these elements. At this time, it will be much easier for us to draw the forest! First of all, we can use the composition techniques of front, middle and background to draw a simple sketch

Then, we can start to draw the trees in the background, the grass and characters in the middle ground, and the grass in the foreground according to our sketches, and make a color plan at this time. Because we want to distinguish the front, middle and background, in this picture, the easiest way is to use color to distinguish the front, middle and background.

After a simple color plan, we can start to paint the details! At the beginning, I drew the grass in the foreground first, and then the trees in the background, because the grass in the foreground and the trees in the background do not need to be drawn in detail, only simple drawing is needed, so that the characters and birds in the middle ground can be drawn It stands out, so finish the simple painting at the beginning, and then slowly adjust the details in the middle ground!

Next, I focused on drawing the grass in the middle ground. Here, I first used the green grass with low saturation and close to gray to draw, and then drew warmer grass on top of these low-saturation grass to make the overall grass It looks more layered

Then, make some simple modifications to the overall middle-ground grass, and adjust the foreground grass according to the tonality of the middle-ground grass, so that the foreground grass can look thinner and not too different from the middle-ground grass big

After the whole scene is basically drawn, I started to draw the parts of the characters and the birds. Here, in order to make the characters more vivid, I made a whole selection of the parts of the characters and the birds later. First of all, I added some leaf shadows on the grass, and then drew the body movements of the characters with simple line drawings

Then refine the line drafts of the characters and birds, because in this way, it will be easier when we have to color them

Then lay the basic inherent color, here I want to draw a little prince like a fairy tale, so you will find a little bit like the prince in Snow White in the costume of the character

After the inherent color is finished, it is necessary to start the coloring of large shadows, so here I use the brush of the airbrush, which is better for painting a large area of fog texture

After the inherent colors and shadows are painted, the next step is the highlight of the painting - the detailing part! At this time, it usually takes more time to deal with the more detailed light and shadow parts

After the entire body of the prince was roughly drawn, I began to add some light and shadow changes to the grass around the prince's sitting position and the prince's body, and also drew the part of the bird

After the overall shadows are almost drawn, we can draw some strong light parts, so that it will appear that the whole picture is full of sunlight. After all, the stronger the shadow, the stronger the light usually means. Here, I used the "addition (glow) layer mode" to draw the layer where the light hits the prince and the bird.

Basically the painting is here, the main part is almost done, but I still want to make the picture richer, so I add shiny light spots around the grass, add a little yellow light fog to the background forest, and the foreground Changed to feathers

Originally, I should stop painting here, but I still want to enrich the picture, so I added some flowers on the grass, and painted from above until the sun shines directly on the prince, making the whole picture more beautiful. There is a hint that guides everyone to watch the prince. This overall picture makes me feel that I can stop XDDDDD
